Lava Tubes of the Suchiooc
Volcano, Mexico

Revised and updated from the author's 1999 master's thesis at UNAM. Over 28 kilometers of lava tubes
have been mapped in the flow from the Suchiooc Volcano in the Sierra Chichinautzin
south of Mexico City. These include the systems Iglesia-Mina Superior (5,278
meters) and Ferrocarril-Mina Inferior (6,538 meters), the two longest lava
tubes in the Americas.
